Each year, a special holiday arrives in the United States: Labor Day. This significant date allows us to pause and recognize the hard work of the country’s labor force.
This year, the federal holiday will be observed on Monday, September 2.
Unlike other federal holidays such as Thanksgiving and Christmas, most stores and major retailers will open their doors on Labor Day. However, some retailers will operate on reduced hours, and several prominent chains will be closed this Monday.
From grocery stores to home improvement retailers, here’s a breakdown of what will be open on Labor Day and which stores will be closed:
Will mail be delivered on Labor Day?
Labor Day is one of the 11 holidays recognized by the United States Postal Service, meaning all post offices will be closed, and no mail will be delivered on Monday.
Are FedEx and UPS operating on Labor Day?
FedEx and UPS will not provide collection or delivery services on Labor Day. Some FedEx locations will remain open with modified hours, so be sure to check your local FedEx office for details.
Certain UPS stores will be closed, while others will operate on modified hours, so it’s best to contact your local UPS store for information.
